This week Dublin is getting a Taste of Mexico, thanks to the return of the annual ‘food and culture festival’. I’m reliably informed that tequila and mezcal are counted as the latter (culture) and I imagine that they have in their time been considered by some as the former (they’re certainly delicious enough) but either way, both feature big in this week’s celebrations.

The same spot plays host at 7pm tonight to a free mezcal tasting – read on for details on this and other mescal events at the weekend. Read the rest of this entry →

WHAT? Two great events take place tonight as part of the Mexican Food Festival which runs all week. The first is a lecture on “The Mexican cuisine: a unique experience of flavors, colors and traditions” presented by chef Claudio Hall Van Beuren of Mexico City’s El Refugio Restaurant, followed by Mezcal & Tequila tasting with Fernando Cano and
Sergio Inurrigarro.
